Ninio, Anat

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v34 n4 p369-88 Oct 1988

Studied beliefs about infant capacities of 160 pairs of Israeli parents and of 129 nonparent adolescents and young adults of both sexes. Parents with higher education and Western origin gave earlier age estimates for infant capacities, and mothers' estimates were younger than fathers'. Nonparents exhibited similar patterns. (SKC)
